“On July 2, 1940, Roosevelt signed the Export Control Act, authorizing the President to license or prohibit the export of essential defense materials.” Under this authority, “on July 31, exports of aviation motor fuels and lubricants and No. 1 heavy melting iron and steel scrap were restricted.” Next, in a move aimed at Japan, Roosevelt slapped an embargo, effective October 16, “on all exports of scrap iron and steel to destinations other than Britain and the nations of the Western Hemisphere.” Finally, on July 26, 1941, Roosevelt “froze Japanese assets in the United States, thus bringing commercial relations between the nations to an effective end. One week later Roosevelt embargoed the export of such grades of oil as still were in commercial flow to Japan.”The British and the Dutch followed suit, embargoing exports to Japan from their colonies in southeast Asia."

You must be retarded.

Muh basarino japanese people!! They're just like Aryans!

The japanese are incapable of empathy. Tell me what they did to the Italian hold outs in china when Mussolini fell. What about the Italian naval units? THEY WERE FUCKING SLAUGHTERED AND THE WOMEN RAPED, EVEN THE ONES WHO WANTED TO CONTINUE FIGHTING THE ALLIES. The fucking japs are largely incapable of human emotion. They only succeeded in ripping off western tech and strategy. They only won against their disadvantaged neighbors, but when met with a true White power in all their might, they were bent over backwards. Fuck the Japs and fuck you for defending them.

It's almost as if you think that war isn't a crime so long as you're on the "Right Side"....

Soviets did the same thing as the japs when they took Berlin....

Americans did the same thing to Americans during Sherman's march to the sea...

War is war. Encouraging genocidal tendencies only emboldens people like you in their willingness to send sons to die abroad.

Chinese are pieces of shit bug people. I always considered the Japanese to be different and have some honor. We are gonna need Japan’s help in the future if we ever expect to win. We are more outnumbered than ever. Don’t get me wrong, I hate all bug people and the horrific shit they do. I just thought Japanese were a little better.

The japanese may have had a fanatical sense of honor to their emperor, that can not be denied but they did not abide by the European code of honor and chivalry. It's easy to get caught up in that image though. I'm definitely not one to cry about human rights bullshit but what the japanese did during ww2 to Whites and even their own kind was nothing less than peak atrocity. They turned against those who were even on their side, and fought beside them. They would torture to death, enslave and slaughter those who struck their colors. In European enclaves, the children and women were raped and murdered, even if they were Italians. Another example being their killing of the White (tsarist) Russian soldiers that fought with them against throughout the war. When the Soviets invaded Manchuria, they turned on the White Russians that had fought in their ranks for over a decade and killed them, even torturing some to death.

In Europe, thought out the ages, war was almost a game to be played. The players respected each other and those who surrendered had rights. Prisoners were usually treated with dignity and outside of the fight, there was little instance of hatred toward the opponent unless wrong had been done first. But no moral wrong had been done to the Japanese. They were just blood thirsty right off the bat, without justification.
